Today marks the 500th anniversary of Anabaptism. We honor those who resisted church and state violence, rejecting corruption to embody Jesus’ radical way. They built communities of mutual care, economic sharing, and discipleship from below. May we learn from their courage today. #Anabaptism500 (From Druhart on Facebook)

Here's one of my latest drawings, a sketch of the Great Friends Meeting House in Newport, RI, an astonishingly old (built in 1699!) wooden Quaker meeting house

Also, here's the photo I shot that I worked from.
